| description | This paper analyzes the relationship between the Maras, the forced displacement, and the refuge of Salvadoran lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and other sexual and gender identities (LGBTI+) through the illustrative case of Karla Avelar. The Maras’ actions such as extortion, threat, persecution or murder led to forced mobility as a means of escape and untimely flight from the country. The refuge becomes, in many cases, the only chance to survive for Salvadoran LGBTI+ people escaping from the siege of the Maras. |

LGBTI. Maras. Desplazamiento forzado. Refugio. This paper analyzes the relationship between the Maras, the forced displacement, and the refuge of Salvadoran lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and other sexual and gender identities (LGBTI+) through the illustrative case of Karla Avelar. The Maras’ actions such as extortion, threat, persecution or murder led to forced mobility as a means of escape and untimely flight from the country. The refuge becomes, in many cases, the only chance to survive for Salvadoran LGBTI+ people escaping from the siege of the Maras. Este texto analiza la relación de las Maras, el desplazamiento forzado y el refugio de personas salvadoreñas lesbianas, gay, bisexuales, personas trans, intersexuales y otras identidades sexuales y de género (LGBTI+) por medio del caso ilustrativo de Karla Avelar. Cuando se conjuntan las acciones de las Maras como la extorsión, la amenaza, la persecución o el asesinato, esto se transforma en el detonante para ejercer una movilidad forzada como vía de escape y huida intempestiva del país. El refugio se transforma en, muchos casos, la única oportunidad de sobrevivir para personas salvadoreñas LGBTI+ que huyen del asedio de las Maras.
